Hi guys,

I'm tired to change ROM every day. ICS, MIUIv4, CM7, AOKP, ... I can't deiced.

My usages:

* Just 2G networks
* Listen music (Speaker)
* Text (SMS) and Yahoo IM
* Call (few)
* Gaming (not 3Ds and heavy games)
* I can't stay with Lags and I rather fast responsibility
* Battery is not very Important but It's important
* All app I need is about 150
* A few web browsing (WiFi)
* A little GPS

What are u recommend me?

Choosing a ROM is something personal. In my opinion don't change every day! Stay with a specific ROM at least 4-5 days, because you won't have a good knowledge of how the ROM works.
Also i think 150 apps is too much :p
If you still want a specific ROM i can suggest you MIUI MintBerry or CM7 nightly or the new CM7.2RC.

Hey man! I recomend you CM9 is pretty stable and fast, ICS my friend lol
And if you want it as smooth as silk take the Icy Glitch kernel, you can overclock and Live OC, I have it with no Live OC (I don't want UV) and at 1,5GHz.
Believe me, reaaally fast and smooth.

But whatever, I agree ngphobos, to choose a rom is something really personal, it depends of your style of ROM.

So good luck!

PD: yeah, i believe that 150 apps is too much xD

I personally like darkyrom 10.4.2 and it looks like we use the phone for about the same stuff but I only have 70 it so apps. I reccomend trying it if you don't like it then try something else but once you go darky its hard to go back. Lol

Slim ICS + Semaphore 0.9.5b.


Otherwise AOKP if you want the extra apps etc already installed from stock.

Based on those requirements, I'd recommend Froyo ZSJPK. Before you dismiss it just because it's froyo, I strongly implore you to check the thread out and perhaps even try the rom for at least a day.

I'm using Amestris Persian Gulf 7.2, it's great for daily use (no reboots, freezes, SoD, etc) and it covers all the stuff you need, also, it's based in official Samsung ROM, so, the GPS works flawlessly.

Cheers

Greetings Guys,

I didn't want to start another thread on the same question & clutter your forums so I thought I would just post my question here. Sorry if this seems like a thread jacking so if its against forum rules then a Mod can just delete it for me.

I too have a SGS & my question is the same. My phone is stock & has always been & I still love my device to bits. Its just that I am getting a little tired & need a change but before I spend a lot of money on another new device, I thought I would try to change the experience of this device first.
I am sure if I choose the right ROM I will be good with it for a few more months.

Since ICS will not be officially launched for my phone I thought about trying it out. I only have about 60 apps on my phone but I could easily cut it down to 45 or so. I mainly use:

Internet
WiFi
Calling
Messaging (WhatsApp)

I don't want anything too big either, I prefer something that weighs in a few MB less then the main stream stuff cos less is more for me. :D
What process would I need to follow & what do you guys suggest, perhaps a reason too would be awesome?

Thanks & I can see I am going to enjoy this community.

Vogie, for you normal use, the best you can do is to flash a stock rom, JVU is my advice, and put cf-root kernel. That's all. Your phone should work as well as you want/need.

Don't do any complicate thing.

    I see , you want to try out some new .. like ICS :rolleyes:

    Ok i think there will be 3 ICS-Roms for you..

    - So first I think teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Galaxy S for i9000 , it isn't very customizable , but the were no bugs ! ( or very less :rolleyes: ) , perfect for beginner :) ( no bugs , stock , little customizable )


    -Slim ICS , I really love the rom :D , it is very fast ! had a good battery live and looks awesome (it's a little bit more customizable , good battery live)


    - My last advice were 2 Roms (i know there were a few more but i choose this 2 ), both are very good Android Open Kang Project - galaxysmtd or Codename Android these two Roms were highly customizable ! , so i think your should flash this rom when you knew a little bit more about ICS :rolleyes:

    I hope my post was helpful , and now you can find you best ICS-ROM :)
